Declan Laird

Who are you and what is your occupation?
My name is Declan Michael Laird and I'm an actor & producer. From Scotland but now living in the good o'l USA. 
 
What drives you to get up every day?
My alarm clock. No -- I'm motivated to keep achieving my goals. I strive to maintain a high work-ethic in order to keep being able to do what I love for the rest of my days!
 
Who is a living person you most admire?
My parents. I know that's two people....
 
When and where were you happiest?
I'm happiest when on set. There is no place you'd rather be as an actor. Also, when I'm hanging out with my girlfriend and dog, I'm pretty happy too!
 
Who is your hero of fiction?
Ooooh. That's a tricky one. George Costanza in Seinfeld has got to be up there though. Guy is a legend. 
 
Who is your real-life hero?
Myself. Kidding. It's actually an ex-soccer player called Henrik Larsson. Nobody reading this is going to know who he is, but he gave me some of my fondest childhood memories.
What does comfort feel like to you?
Fresh (preferably cool apparel like Powder) clothes to wear every day, food in my belly and a smile on my face. 
 
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
That I try to help people whenever I can; without expecting anything in return. If there was more of that in the world, it would be a better place.
 
What do you most value in friends?
Humor. If you're my friend, you gotta be able to make a joke. But more importantly, you gotta be able to take one. Thick skin is a must.
 
What is your most treasured possession?
I have a couple of handwritten notes from my dad that really mean a lot to me. 
 
What is a dream/goal for the future that you have?
I'd like to work with more friends in a professional capacity. I have a small but tight group and everyone rising together is the name of the game.

All hoodies are not created equal, pay close attention to the durability, style and cotton which all cottons are not created equal. Cotton with fleece adds not only a higher level of comfort, but also a higher level of quality unmatched by most hoodies.
